I took the trip mainly to try and get some pictures of the local birdlife. I did getsome nice shots of numerous species, Brahminy Kite, White Bellied Sea Eagle, Striated Heron and a few other more common species. Apart from the birds, the scenery is beautiful and it's a nice way to spend a couple of hours. Recomended.

Very good, Daisy our instructor was very helpful and took the time to help us enjoy our surroundings and provided a history of Brunswick and the area around it. Would recommend it to anyone looking to go river kayaking
